We are located in the heart of beautiful Muskoka, nestled in between a granite outcropping of the Canadian Shield and a field frequented by local wildlife. This self-contained apartment features two bedrooms, a living room with a sofa bed, kitchenette, and full bathroom. Minutes from beaches, trails, restaurants, and local attractions. Experience the beauty of Muskoka in summer or winter away from the town crowds, but still near everything you'll need. We look forward to having you!

The Field and Shield accommodates up to 8 guests. One bedroom has a double bed and the second has a double bed and one set of bunk beds. A pull-out sofa bed in the living room provides sleeping space for two more person, if needed. You have a private bathroom, renovated last year, with tub and shower. If you want to prepare your own meals instead of visiting local restaurants, the kitchenette is equipped with a fridge, hot plates, a toaster oven, and microwave. A portable BBQ is available to use either here on the property or at one of the nearby parks. Dishes, cutlery, pots and pans are provided for your use.

A beautiful country setting with classic Muskoka granite outcroppings and towering trees. Port Carling is just a few kilometres up the road, so you can easily visit its thriving summer shopping scene, access the lakes via various nearby public boat launches and beaches, and enjoy local restaurants. If you have children, don't forget to visit Santa's Village in nearby Bracebridge. If you are visiting in winter and hoping for outdoor activities, we are within minutes of the snowmobile, snowshoeing, and skating trails and various ice-fishing locations.

Great place and helpful hosts

Nathan2017-06-16T00:00:00Z

Amanda was a great host. She let us check in late in the evening and had beers from the local brewery for us. The basement apartment was very spacious for me and my four friends. The kitchen and washroom were very clean. She also provided a portable grill if we wanted to bbq at a park and kindle for the firepit right outside. We'd definitely stay with her again.

Kitty2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

What a great place to stay! Amanda and Adam were superb hosts, and nothing was too much trouble. The apartment was clean, tidy and as described. Field and Shield was perfect for our first visit to Muskoka and only five minutes by car from Port Carling. Thank you Amanda and Adam

ian2016-09-01T00:00:00Z

Amanda and her husband and kids were all super sweet! They were very helpful with what was going on in the area and helped my mother and I find activities catered just to us! The suite is very nice and comfortable. Plenty of room to do whatever you want, and a short drive to all of the surrounding towns. Would definitely stay there again :)

Laurel2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

Fantastic place, nice and clean.

Xianya2016-09-04T00:00:00Z

Great place and friendly people

Nathan2017-06-23T00:00:00Z

The basement apartment was perfect and more than enough room for the four of us. The place was clean, cosy and there was even local beer already waiting for us when we arrived. It was our first time in Muskoka and we got to see everything we had planned with ease from this location. Amanda answered all of our queries really quickly and was a great host!

Tommy2017-02-24T00:00:00Z

Amanda was great and very pleasant. We arrived late in the evening but she was still very chipper and happy which was really nice after our long drive. Everything was neat and clean and overall it was a really nice experience!

Your private room is ONE OF TWO bdrms, side by side, please note that myself or others may be staying in the room next to yours. Your room is an eclectic bohemian mix of old world charm with a private view of my magical treetop hill. The bed is now hipster style on 6 x 6 posts, it has an Eco-mattress with Egyptian cotton sheets, hand dyed organic cotton covers, and hand knit vintage blankets to choose from. You control your own heat, window fan or air conditioning to your liking. There's wifi, bring your laptop to work quietly at your own private desk or choose from lots of DVDs/or Netflix to watch a flick if you like on a large flatscreen tv in the shared living room area, or on a small flatscreen in your private room. I provide towels and toiletries, and there's a big bathroom with lots of hot water and a new tub/shower that begs to soak in. Note: It is a SHARED BTHRM, but I am conscious of your need for privacy, VERY used to sharing (raised 5 kids!) and not always around. I'm AIMING for providing a 5star, artsy, fun, shared, communal experience and I'm more than willing to host a game night or show you the sights or make recommendations if you let me know your wishes! I have a cute kitchen with everything a good cook needs, uses of which could be discussed if you book a stay longer than 1 night. Tea/cof/homebaking always provided. There is a private deck to use year round and hammocks on the hill provided for napping! You can also borrow my easy to use lawn chair style beach kayak/lifejacket. Remember we are walking distance to waterfront on both sides of the street, with a beach, park, and gorgeous hiking trails literally outside your door! It's pretty comfy inside, but Muskoka is ALL about going outside!

Please check out my photos! National Geographic voted Muskoka the #1 destination spot IN THE WORLD a couple yrs running, and Port Carling is at the heart of it! With cottage-chic shopping, art galleries, waterfront eateries, a cool happening surf club with live music on sat nights in summer and celebrity approved and attended awesome authentic Mexican food at Grand Electric on the water! even a bus to The Kee on Sat's and Resort Nights! ...all a block away from My Treetop! Note: Almost everything is closed from Thanksgiving to May 24, but if you love the absolute quiet of winters with NO CARS, Starry Skies, fall/winter walks to the lakefront beach, where all you might see is a beautiful sunset, a deer or a fox...candlelit gamenights, a beer for 3.75 at the local legion on wing night...reading a book from your 4 poster bed and a view of a snowcovered hill...year round, its a one-of-a-kind experience here!

Great place in the heart of Port Carling. Very friendly and accommodating host

malan2017-08-15T00:00:00Z

We loved everything here.

Nina2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

It was a pleasure to meet Jocelyn and stay in her apartment. The bedroom was very cozy. And mostly I enjoyed spending time with Jocelyn both in the apartment and out. She is a generous host. Thank you!

Lisa 2017-08-21T00:00:00Z

Jocelyn responded quickly and in a friendly manner. She offered us a choice of delicious breakfast options to choose from ahead of time and made sure we knew how to find her place. Jocelyn answered all my questions thoroughly and promptly. She was very informative before we even arrived at her place. Jocelyn welcomed us with a warm greeting upon arrival and warm cookies. The bedroom was cute and the shared bathroom was lovely. The deck overlooking a forest was adorable and having a lake a block away was dreamy. We slept very comfortably. Her dog is adorable but be prepared he likes to lick bare toes. If it bothered us Jocelyn was ready to move him in an instant. We found it endearing. Jocelyn made us feel at home and comfortable. I really enjoyed her chatty and friendly nature, but if you are looking for a quieter stay she will provide you with whatever experience you need. Her goal is to make your stay a wonderful one. The space overall is smaller so if you are looking for a lot of privacy keep that in mind. She was very good at giving us our space when we needed. Banana french toast and oatmeal chocolate cranberry cookies were so yummy. Thanks for a great stay :-)

My boyfriend and I stayed here for our anniversary and we were blown away by the hospitality that Charles and Terry showed us. Beautiful living space, quaint and cozy. Extremely clean and in a beautiful location. We loved everything about this trip and had an amazing time!

Alex 2017-06-10T00:00:00Z

Charles and Terri's place comes even better than advertised. The pictures do not capture the incredible attention to detail that the owners put into the property, providing literally every amenity you could ask for in an executive couples retreat. The property feels completely secluded, with it's own private deck and barbecue area, but the owners are never farther than a quick message away should anything arise. We could not think any more highly of our stay, and would strongly recommend that anyone stay with Charles and Terri should they be looking for some peace and quiet in Muskoka.

Cam2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Terri and Charles were helpful, welcoming, warm and respectful and their place was clean and cozy. Terri made us some fantastic cookies and they left us a lovely bottle of wine to enjoy for our weekend. Perfect little getaway for a couple.

Heather2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

Beautiful location! Very clean, offers everything you could possibly need during your stay. Hosts were very accessible and helpful with regards to any of our questions or issues we ran into.

Erica2017-07-10T00:00:00Z

My husband and I had our 2 year anniversary here. It's a beautiful place . We had an amazing weekend.

Diana2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

Wonderful people, cozy place to stay.

Steve2017-07-05T00:00:00Z

Great experience. Clean, very accommodating, private and super friendly. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again. Thx Chris and Shereen

Chris2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

This spot is a cozy gem, nestled close to beautiful Lake Muskoka. My husband and I stayed here overnight to tour some craft breweries and for a fall weekend away. Terri and Charles were warm and friendly hosts and took the time to show us around the addition. They even were nice enough to provide us with pastries, coffee and a bottle of wine for our stay. - all were amazing. Such a great experience. It's worth mentioning their place was spotless and decorared with care. We'll back in the summer for sure!

The host Cathy was super sweet. Always answered me within seconds if I needed her. The mature lady that stayed upstairs was really quiet and to herself, didn't even notice she was there. It was quiet and peaceful. So nice to get away. It was secluded from any other house/ cottages which was very nice to have your own space. Over all it's a very peaceful getaway. It's close to the town with pubs, stores, restaurants and more which was very convenient. Thanks for having us Cathy I'm sure we'll back back soon!

Miranda2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Location was good and we were able to walk to the downtown strip only a couple km away. If you plan on enjoying the beverages that this area has to offer it is very nice not to have to drive. Taxi service is also available. The place was very clean, quiet and private and has everything you need. The cell signal is very limited however so WiFi would have been nice. We had a technical issue with the TV but Cathy responded within minutes and attempted to troubleshoot which was appreciated. Overall a nice stay.

Ross2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

My stay at this cozy apartment was wonderful. It is the lower level of a beautiful log home. This one bedroom apartment has all you need with a full kitchen and deck with BBQ. We made lasting memories roasting marshmallows at the fire pit in the yard. Mature lady lives on the upper level. We never even knew she was there and had solo use of the yard the entire stay. It is in a central location that is minutes from downtown Bracebridge. We loved visiting Bracebridge falls:) Thanks Cathy and Libby for checking us in and taking such great care of us. You are truly exceptional hosts.

Enjoy all that Muskoka has to offer - biking and hiking trails, river & lake swimming and boating, amazing fall colours, down hill skiing (at Hidden Valley, Huntsville), cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, skating and snowmobiling in the winter, great restaurants and shops all year round... while living in a historic century home with modern day updates and conveniences in this beautiful, completely self contained, fully furnished and equipped 2-bedroom apartment.

Bracebridge is the heart of Muskoka and this century home is in the centre of Bracebridge. An easy stroll will bring you to the Muskoka River falls (great swimming or rent mountain bikes and watercraft), Memorial Park, trails, a charming 3 screen movie theatre, various shops and chef-run restaurants. A short drive gives you access to the rest of Muskoka - motor boat launches, snow machine trails, swimming, hiking, snow shoeing or swimming on and around the big Muskoka Lakes, Arrowhead Provincial Park, Santa's Village a few minutes away, delightful Bala, Rosseau and Dorset and so much more that Muskoka offers. We are an hour from Algonquin Park (80 km) and 1-1/2 hours (125 km) from Kilbear Park.

Patti and Rob were extremely welcoming and were home to greet us when we arrived late. They were very through with showing us around the house and explained how everything worked and where additional supplies were stored. Their guidebook was helpful and they were always available to answer any questions we had. The house was clean and appeared just like the photos! The neighbourhood was quaint and charming with a lot of character. My friends and I would definitely return! Many thanks to Patti and Rob for their warm welcome during our stay :)

Grace2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

Dear Patti, we felt in your wonderfully renovated house very well. One notices many details how much love everything was set up. We can only recommend the house and come to you safely if we should return to the area again. From Bracebridge from many things are possible. We were in Algonquin Park, in Killbear Park and in Sainte-Marie among the Hurons. We also have visited the various beaches in the area and made some hikes. Especially good we liked the Huckleberry Rock Trail from which one has a great view. Thanks for the informative session with the many references. Very convenient, we also found that there was very close to many shops and restaurants. In the evening we gladly looked at DVDs. There were also many puzzles, games and books. Thanks and best regards, Michaela and Albert

Michaela2016-09-23T00:00:00Z

Thank you Patti for the best stay on our roadtrip through south Ontario. You are so lovely and your house was amazing. We were a little bit said. That we only stayed for one night. Bracebridge is a small and lovely village with nice restaurants. I hope we can came back for a next stay :)

Katja2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

I booked this air bnb for my elderly parents looking to getaway. The place was beautiful and in a perfect location for anyone wanting to enjoy a quiet getaway while also having easy acces to all Bracebridge has to offer. The place was clean, spacious and very beautiful. Communication with Patti was easy and she made check in extra special with her personal greeting and explanations to make navigation of the town very simple. Thank you for a great experience! I would highly recommend this Airbnb.

Tina2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

It was a cute unit, very central location, use of fire pit and BBQ was great. Hosts were friendly and responsive.

Nicolette2016-07-25T00:00:00Z

Pattie and Robert did everything to make us feel at home. The house was beautifully presented, and they had thought of even the smaller details of tea, coffee, etc to ensure our stay was as easy as possible. Would definitely recommend.

Samantha2016-10-15T00:00:00Z

Staying at Patti's was absolutely wonderful. The home is gorgeous and obviously recently renovated. Spacious, comfortable, lovely, ideally situated for my short stay in Bracebridge. Patti was even kind enough to recommend ideal places to see for what my friend and I were looking for during our short stay. The conversations that followed were nice and sweet. I will be delighted to see Patti again, while staying at her home or to simply say hi when I am in the area again.

Antoine2017-02-13T00:00:00Z

patti's house is a charming cottage as she describes, you can tell every spot of the house has been decorated in a good atmosphere. We love it immediately once we step in. She is a very nice lady with charming personality. We had a wonderful time in her place. Strongly recommend!!!

Jesse, Jess and their guest house were all fantastic. The place was very clean, and there were a lot of hikes, and things to see around their neighbourhood. We had a great time, and would like to stay with them again in the future.

This is a good sized, private one bedroom. The photos are exactly as it is, really nice and modern. Well maintained, clean and lots of space. Jesse left coffee, sugar, breakfast foods, fruit ...just like in the photos. Also, just a 10 min walk or so to downtown, the river is just a couple mins away.

Great apartment. Nice hosts!

stephanie2017-08-13T00:00:00Z

Fantastic and very friendly hosts! This is a private apartment within a house. The fridge was stocked with food for breakfast, and there were also some fresh pastries. I was treated to some homemade Wiener schnitzel and garden fresh beans for dinner, and had a great evening chatting with my hosts. The location is secluded and quiet, but only a short drive to gravenhurst restaurants and pubs. Will definitely stay here again when I am in the area.

Craig2017-08-19T00:00:00Z

We only stayed one night as we were doing a triathlon nearby but would definitely come back. The apartment was spacious and clean and we even had bread and cheese and juice provided so we could have a good breakfast. Only a ten min drive to Gravenhurst steamboat area.

Jayda2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

Hans and his wife hosted me for 1 night in their beautiful house. Because it was a quick stopover, I did not get a chance to enjoy all the amenities offered. Hans' wife was very friendly and communicative, and the rented section of the house was private, clean, nicely furnished and very well supplied with coffee, snacks etc. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Maureen2017-07-08T00:00:00Z

The place was beautiful, and so were the personalities of the people who own it. Our hosts made for an incredible experience, very personable and superb conversationalists. My wife and I arrived for the first time to the house on Crystal's birthday, and it was a privilege to celebrate it with them at a restaurant in Gravenhurst. They are extremely hospitable and welcoming. The delightful and deep conversations we had with Crystal and Hans enriched our experience, and our overall perspectives. I'd highly recommend booking this place and getting to know Crystal and Hans, you won't regret it.

This cottage is AMAZING! It has all necessary indoor space, outdoor environment and household necessities for an amazing vacation! The beach, backyard and porch overlooking the water are stunning - each space also has ample seating for guests and tons of recreational equipment for the guests to use (paddle boards, kayaks, fire pit) The cottage itself is beautiful and has all necessary kitchen and household materials (and lots of board games!) for a comfortable stay! Norm is an amazing host to deal with - he always got back to me in a timely manner and was very helpful with all questions and the booking process through Air BnB. This was my first time booking through Air BnB and the host experience will be hard o top from here on out (so thank you Norm!) If you are thinking of booking a stay here, don't think twice! Book it!

Meagan2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

Norm's cottage was AMAZING. He is a great communicator and never hesitated to share info with me. the view was breathtaking. We absolutely enjoyed our stay.

Tannaz 2017-09-04T00:00:00Z

The place was great, our family of 10 (including 2 young children) had a wonderful time on the large front porch overlooking the lake and the on the beach and dock. Lots of fun water toys such as kayaks and paddle boards are provided, which we loved! The small private beach area is perfect for kids - shallow and protected. As the pictures correctly show, the driveway and stairs are quite steep and the steps down to the beach area may be a bit difficult to navigate for those with mobility issues - but the beach and the porch view are totally worth it. When we arrived the hydro was down (not the owner's fault, the whole area was blacked out), but the manager generously brought over lots of flashlights, buckets, and cooler/ice, and we survived a couple of days without power with their help. Thank you! The bunk beds are singles, but the length should accommodate most adults - we did notice that the labels say that they are supposed to be for 150lbs or less. The house is well stocked and has lots of kitchen and bbq stuff, games, moves, and things to keep you amused! There's also lots to do a short drive nearby - we visited a couple breweries and small towns on the rainy days, it was lovely!

Neighbourhood is beautiful, Megan was very easy to contact and quick to reply. The ceilings are quite low in the apartment, so taller guests need to watch their heads!

Vanessa2017-05-28T00:00:00Z

The view from this location is phenomenal. They have a dick that overlooks the lake and is just beautiful at sunset. The place we stayed at was very clean and well prepared for our arrival. I would suggest if you're taller than 6"2 you might struggle with the ceiling height, but it's worth it for the location, people and view! Would definitely stay again

Leila 2017-07-12T00:00:00Z

It was an excellent place to stay. Nice spacious backyard and access to the water wasnt hard

Samuel2017-05-27T00:00:00Z

Great spot! Right on the water to enjoy the sunsets, walking trails and use of their kayaks. It was also a great spot to make s'mores over the campfire! Wonderful hosts.

Jesse2017-05-04T00:00:00Z

My girlfriend and I had a great time at this quiet lakeside property. Megan is a great host. It’s a quick drive to a numerous amount of local beaches and other sites.

Lenny2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Cozy quarters in the basement of their house with ample extra heat if need be. Fabulous backyard with private entrance. two kayaks are available for use. Brent and Megan are busy people but respond to your needs.

Thanks for a great place to stay on the beautiful Muskoka River! Our young kids enjoyed looking at the water, having their own room and the special treat of being able to watch Paw Patrol on Netflix just like at home! It was a beautiful spot with a nice deck or cozy couches for relaxing when the kids are in bed!! Karen & Char were so thoughtful, accommodating and quick to respond with answers or updates about our questions or events in the area.

Hiliary2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful weekend away from the city! My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay. It was everything we were looking for in a cottage and the location was great. The property was beautiful and had a very peaceful and comfortable feel - not to mention lovely yard that backs off onto the river. Would definitely recommend this place to friends looking to escape the city and relax.

Jessie2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

Great spot for a couple or 2 couples! The apartment had everything you needed the location was great! Close to arrowhead which was nice since that was our reason for going up to hunstville!

Janessa2017-03-05T00:00:00Z

My boyfriend and I visited as a mini staycation from Toronto and Karen and Char are such lovely hosts!! Everything is exactly as described in the description of the space and was super clean, cozy and had everything that we needed. The part we loved the most was definitely the new large patio that extends out to a huge yard with plenty of Muskoka chairs, a fire pit and a nice dock that leads right to the river!! It was just so gorgeous and refreshing to be the first thing you see when you wake up. Everything is in driving distance - up the road is a grocery store/LCBO and walmarts/more retailers in nearby towns. I have to agree with the previous review - that the pictures really doesn't do the place much justice. We would absolutely return with friends next time. Thanks again, Karen & Char for providing us a great place for our staycation. :)

Kaleena2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

Place was great, Karen and Char were amazing hosts, as they had everything set up for us. Place was spotless and beautiful. Really enjoyed our stay and hope to be back!

Tiffany2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

This spot was the perfect getaway during the long weekend with my gf. Karen & Char were super responsive from when we booked the stay to checking out. The place was clean and very roomy and we felt right at home from the get go. Beautiful view of the river from the windows and right between Huntsville and Bracebridge so you can visit the local shops and restaurants within 15 mins. With the constant rain during the trip, this home more than made up for it.

Dayo2017-04-16T00:00:00Z

Great stay, the place was amazing and the picture doesn't do it justice. Karen is a gracious host and very clean and nice space with Great Lake view

Emma2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Karen and Char's place was perfect for our weekend getaway this summer. The location is spectacular with access and views of the water. They were wonderful hosts, and made our stay super enjoyable.

Dylan2017-06-19T00:00:00Z

Lisa was a great host! Communication with her was always available and she offered tips and suggestions for what to do in the area. The place was clean and cosy, exactly as described. Her courtesy and hospitality ensured a smooth and inviting visit.

Sara2016-09-26T00:00:00Z

Lisa was a great host. She was very communicative and accommodating. Her place was great for a relaxing weekend - the best part was canoeing down the beautiful river. It is definitely a great place to disconnect and unwind.

Sienna2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

It was a pleasure to stay at Lisa's lovely place on the serene river. We enjoyed the freshness of the trees around the backyard and dips and kayaking in the river. Lisa was very flexible and accommodating to our late booking, checkin/checkout times and quick to answer all our questions. A very welcoming host with a place that was clean, organized, and as described in the listing. We look fwd to returning at another time in the future!! Thanks, Gurpreet

Gurpreet2016-09-04T00:00:00Z

We have stopped here on the way to Algonquin & muskoka region. Lisa's place is huge and has all the necessities we needed. We didn't get to talk to her but the tenant upstairs was very friendly. The room is in the basement though so it did get a bit chilly at night and the floor is not very sound-proof so you can hear the movie & music from upstairs (not that they were trying to make a noise).

Lei2016-10-08T00:00:00Z

Nice clean spot. Lisa and her husband are amazing hosts. Close proximity to the casino as promised.

Brent2017-05-07T00:00:00Z

The apartment is small but well kept and clean. It is good to note that there is no stove, and the kitchen is not well stocked with equipment for cooking.

Shannon2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Our stay at Lisa's was great - the place was ready for us when we got there, tidy, and had everything we needed. Check-in was easy and the tenants upstairs were very nice and welcoming. Abby the dog is a huge sweetheart. Lisa stayed in touch and was able to give great suggestions for things to do. We did not have a fire or use any of the outdoor equipment as there were simply too many mosquitoes in the forested area. This was just as well as my sisters and I were happy to hangout inside, and drive a short distance to Orillia for our outdoor time. Overall, a wonderful stay for anyone looking for a place to escape the city!

The house is in a quiet, safe neighbourhood, but centrally located and near all amenities. The large yard backs directly on to the woods with a walking trail. Beautiful Georgian Bay is at the bottom of the hill.
Close to several marinas and golf courses.
Historic Discovery Harbour and King's Wharf are just up the street.
Diverse Rentals, at Hindson Marina, is a couple of kms. away, providing both summer boat rentals, and winter snowmobile rentals.
Martyr's Shrine, Wye Marsh, St. Marie Among the Hurons, and other sites are all within close driving distance.

Nice full basement apartment with 2 bedrooms and spacious living room, kichen bathroom and separate side entrance. Handy instruction booklet had everything we needed. Bill was helpful and available if needed. Only stayed one night but place worked well for our needs.

Brian2016-11-05T00:00:00Z

Bill made us very welcome. A very well equipped basement apartment

Rod2017-05-12T00:00:00Z

Bill very approachable. Has a collection of local restaurant menus and willing to give his opinion on each. Unit very clean and well equipped.

Jim2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Very clean and comfortable, spacious and homey. Bill welcomed us, showed us around and provided little extras to ensure our stay was a positive experience. We would definitely make a return visit when in the Penetang / Midland area.

Rebecca2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

Bill's place was spacious, comfortable, and welcoming for us. He had several essentials already ready for us (toiletries, towels, kitchen utensils) and a number of extras (fresh fruits, some items for our cooking needs, extra linens). Bill went out of his way to recommend a few outings in the area (kayaking and hiking), and also was very kind in accomodating a few of our other needs. Beds were very comfortable. I had a better stay here than I have had at some hotels. 10/10 would stay at again.

Ammar2017-07-03T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our stay. The apartment is very comfortable and spacious and Bill made us very cordially. Please note that off-season Midland is quite sad. Few walks available and the rest is closed. It must be wonderful with the sun!

Eric2016-11-02T00:00:00Z

Enjoyed our stay at Bill's. Clean and only 5 minute drive from 24 hr grocery shop. Had eggs, oatmeal, English muffin, coffee and tea for us to have as BF. Simple and clear written instructions of how-tos. Went to a couple of beaches that's about 20 minute drive away and great for fishing as well.

Jen2017-08-05T00:00:00Z

Bill was a great host, he showed us around the place. There is a private entrance to a great clean fully equipped basement apt. Perfect for us while we were in the area for the weekend. He thought of all the details to make us comfortable for our stay

Bachelor apartment good Security and Right by the water of Georgian Bay. Near several Parks, Coffee shops, and Cab stations. Awenda Park is 20 mins north west great biking and hiking
This apartment is great for couples going to wedding

Big bay windows, tall ceilings and open concept. King size bed and a pull out futon for extra relaxation
It's not perfect but it's super cozy

My neighbourhood is bright, great people watching from the windows. This is a quite building, everything is right here downtown, it's amazing

Great place. Pet friendly. She broke her toe but showed up bloody and in pain to let us in.

Steve2016-07-17T00:00:00Z

Nice and cosy place, awesome location and everything you need in a stay. Very nice host as well! Janelle was very responsive and nice! :)

Brandon2016-07-28T00:00:00Z

If you want to visit the downtown shops, restaurants and the lake this is the perfect location. You're within walking distance of most things. Dillons right next-door has the best pizza and margaritas. Friendly people and friendly town. Lively and entertaining during peak hours then quiet and relaxing in the evenings and on Sundays. Small comfortable room with kitchen if needed. Had a small eccentric Montreal feel. We enjoyed our stay. Janelle was very friendly and personable. If ever in Midland we would definitely recommend it and we would definitely go back.

Roxanne 2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

Great place.

Rebecca2016-09-05T00:00:00Z

Cutest apartment! Loved the location and Janelle was a great host!

Sydney2016-08-17T00:00:00Z

Loved this spot- was a perfect base for what I wanted my trip to be. Janelle was even kind enough to get me some coffee from a local spot in town :) Would definitely stay here again if I'm back in the area!

Kali2017-05-15T00:00:00Z

Cute place just as advertised, a little older building with steep stairs, but it was exactly what we were looking for.

Christina2017-07-16T00:00:00Z

Janelles place has character, as much as midland itself does. There's a ton of natural light in her apartment from the huge windows. Very heavy doors, pretty good security for an older building. It's within walking distance from everything in the downtown of midland. I love the different artistic pieces in her apartment. It's apparent that she likes to travel, as I do too. Will definitely be back, and thank you for sharing with us. My hubby had a wonderful time as well for his birthday.
